Cho: Check it out! Check it out!
Bass: When you got a doubt
Check it out! Check it out!
Kid: What’s it all about?
Check it out! Check it out!
Bass: When you got a doubt
Check it, check it, check it, check it,
Check it, check it out!
Some times my feelings get confused
When I hear something on the news
About some kid like me who died
From drugs, from booze, from suicide
Bass: It must be true! It’s on TV!
An m’television wouldn’t lie to me
But I got friends who smoke and drink
So I don’t know what I should think
Chorus
I ask my Mom when I don’t know
I check with the lady at the grocery store
I ask my Grandpa why he drinks
My Grandma tells me what she thinks!
I ask my relatives and friends
I call up two librarians
I talk to my friend, Bill the cop
Bass: Hey, sometimes I just ask my Pop!
Chorus
So I try not to get uptight
When something does not feel right
Information’s what I need,
So I go lookin’ for a book to read
I listen to the news on radio
To find out what I need t’know
I listen to opinions too, ...BUT,
Bass: ’Cause someone says it don’t mean it’s true!
Cho: Check it out! Check it out!
Bass: When you got a doubt
Check it out! Check it out!
Kids:Ev’rybody shout!
Check it out! Check it out!
Bass: When you got a doubt
Check it, check it, check it, check it,
Check it, check it out!
